Lenovo 3000 9690 Video Card
Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a dedicated video card to be installed. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes the input and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated video cards will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Dedicated video cards are usually necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately.
Symptoms the video graphics card is not going to last much longer
- The graphics on your screen produces lines
